I've been terrible about downloading stuff. I have my complete (modern/shared) library in part because he kept it.
If there's a convenient time to ask, a time when it's not awkward, I'll ask the family and see what they can do. There are some technical users in the family, bot they may also be able to chuck it all onto a flash drive and send it over.
Yeah it might depend on how and where he had anything saved
The worst part is that it's possibly spread across multiple devices. Not all that long ago, his sister passed away. Just before she passed away, she bought a new laptop. He was using that. His laptop was a few years older. I presume none of it was saved on his mother's desktop that he occasionally used.
It's gonna be awkward trying to get access to those archives. Then again, it may make for an excuse to come visit in person. Though, again, that'd be asking them to keep the devices as they were.
Had you ever visited COF in person before?
